It's a way to help cut the cost of high utility connection costs in rural Saskatchewan.
Minister of Crown Corporations, Ken Cheveldayoff recently announced a new crown financing option.
In the option, SaskTel will provide a financing program to assist new businesses whose costs exceed $5000. SaskPower will assist new residential customers whose connection costs exceed $1000.
The program is based on the premise with the program SaskEnergy already has in place for all customers.
